Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque Walkthrough

This is a complete walkthrough for the game Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque.

Objectives

The website (pictured) and Triungulate versions are largely similar.

The Triungulate version includes different, extended puzzles (note the additional file cabinet).

In order to complete this game, three actions must be performed. These actions can be seen at any time by looking at the case file on the noticeboard.

• Need photographic evidence of the attack
• Need physical evidence that was left behind
• Need this case file to have SOLVED stamp on it

The three actions can technically be performed in any order; however, as the takeout container is involved in all three, some steps must be done in a specific order. The recommended order is reproduced below.

Version differences

There are two distinct versions of "Behind the Dangerdesque" — the Flash version on homestarrunner.com, and the version included in Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate. Though the objectives in both versions are the same, the Triungulate version expands upon, changes, or even adds to some of the puzzles. Many steps of the walkthrough apply to either version, and any differences are noted with relevant subheads.

Walkthrough

Open the Safe

• Use the rug to have Dangeresque flip up a corner of it.
• Use the light switch. Dangeresque turns off the light, revealing glowing text under the rug. The blinds must be down for this to work.
• Look at the rug - the text is the combination for the safe.
• Optional: Use the light switch again, if you don't want to spend the rest of the game stumbling around in the dark. (Not necessary in the Roomisode Triungulate version, where the scene is brighter than the original, and where you'll need the lights off again later.)
• Use the safe to open it.
• Get the camera from inside.
• Optional: Shut the safe.

Get the Photographic Evidence

• Attempt to get the takeout container. Dangeresque will be unable to take it, since it's stuck to the top of the safe.
• Walk to the front of the room, and use the chair. Dangeresque will spin on it.

Original game

• Look at the card that came flying out. It has the phone number for the takeout place.

The Roomisode Triungulate

• Look at the card that came flying out. It has the phone number for the cable guy.
• Use the window to open the blinds.
• Look at the window in order to notice Strong Sad across the street.
• Use the phone and call the cable guy. Tell him to change the channel to the Medical Channel (this will be important for the photo later).
• Get the coffee cup. Use it on the ashtray.
• Take the key out of the ashtray.
• Use the key on the file cabinet.
• Look at the files and select the one for "The Rest" to get the number for the takeout place.

Both versions

• Walk to the phone and use it. Dangeresque calls the takeout place (in The Roomisode Triungulate, you must select the takeout place), who will send a technician (Pom Pom) who un-sticks the takeout container with a well-placed karate kick.
• Get the takeout container.
• Use the blind to open it if it is closed, then place the takeout container in the window.
• Roomisode Triungulate only: If the lights in your room are on, use the light switch to turn them off before taking the picture.
• Use the camera on the window to take a photo showing the dragon-man on the takeout container apparently assaulting the fat man (Strong Sad) in the building opposite.

Get the Physical Evidence

• Get the takeout container again, then give it to Dangeresque, who eats it.
• Get the coffee cup, then give it to Dangeresque, who drinks it.
• Walk to the front of the room and use the chair again. The combination of rotary motion with months-old coffee and Chinese takeout causes Dangeresque to throw up into a handy paper bag.

Get the Stamp

• Walk around to the front of the desk and use it. Dangeresque hits the desk, causing the drawer to pop out.
• Walk around to the other side of the desk and get the stamp.
• Place the stamp on the sweet and sour sauce on top of the safe to ink it.

Solve the Case

Now all that's left is to place the three pieces of evidence into the case file on the noticeboard. Place the photographic evidence and the bag of whoozit. This should make your full total of 170 points.

The hard part is the stamp, which you'll notice says "UN-SOLVED". You want it to say "SOLVED" — the whole "SOLVED" and nothing but the "SOLVED". How can you do this? Simple, stamp it so that the "UN-" part isn't on the document. Line up the stamp so that the hyphen crosses the left-hand edge of the page. Be careful, now — miss and it's Game Over, and Dangeresque goes to prison... until you click the mouse button, in any case, at which point time gets rewound and you get another shot.

With all three bits in place, Dangeresque hands the file to The Chief... until he realizes something's amiss, so it looks like Dangeresque is gonna have to jump...out the window.
